The Stillness of Unending Night

Synopsis

In a realm steeped in the bloody traditions of cultivation, where power is seized through ruthless ambition and cosmic indifference reigns, Li Chen endures a fate far crueler than death: cursed immortality. Bound to an existence that stretches beyond the heat death of stars, he is a prisoner of time, watching empires crumble and stars fade into oblivion. Every sunrise is a fresh torment, a reminder of the endless expanse of despair that lies before him. Once a man, he is now a monument to existential dread, his humanity eroded by eons of witnessing cosmic horror and personal betrayal. Driven mad by the weight of eternity and the festering wound of his curse, Li Chen has shed all semblance of empathy. His mind, a labyrinth of ancient sorrows and cold logic, now views the ephemeral lives of mortals as mere distractions, playthings in a universe utterly devoid of meaning. He walks a path of unimaginable cruelty, inflicting pain and despair upon others not out of malice, but out of a profound, soul-deep emptiness. To feel anything at all, even the fleeting sensation of another's agony, is a perverse form of connection in his desolate existence. This is not a tale of a hero's struggle or a villain's rise, but a descent into the abyss of a mind broken by eternity. Follow Li Chen as he navigates a cosmos he despises, leaving a trail of shattered lives and weeping stars, a chilling testament to the horror of living forever when all hope is dead.
